It seemed a waste not to bottle my previously frozen ice chunk left over from an Eisbock recipe. It had all the smell and flavor and was a bit darker. Has anyone ever bottled their ice from icebock? Did it explode?

1Wouldn't it be mostly free of alcohol? Isn't that the point of ice distillation? – Graham Jan 5 '12 at 18:19

1If you didn't thaw it, you could shave it and make Sno-cones! I've made Guinness sorbet a few times - add sugar to Guinness and throw it in an ice-cream maker. Delicious! – JoeFish Jan 6 '12 at 21:03
The freezing point of the ethanol in your eisbock is much lower than water, thus, your chunk is, sadly, just a big ice cube.
The ice is water with little, if any, alcohol to it. There's really no reason to bottle it.
